Customer Question

Changed head gasket on...

Changed head gasket on Daewoo matiz 3 cyl engine removed can pulley + belt to remove head. Installed everything engine wants to fire but sounds free spinning no compression? + didn't line up timing marks on pulleys when re installed. What should I do to get car running.
